A rainbow-plaid shirt with rolled-up sleeves and bright buttons Pull-on jeans with turned-up cuffs Loafer shoes with raw edges Includes The Bitty Twins Learn to Share book

$24"

I bought this set on Ebay, and it came without the shoes, but with the briefs.

While dressing JD in it, I realized that the shirt sleeves and pant legs actually unroll. This outfit will fit an 18" AG doll. With the sleeves and legs unrolled, it still fits Bitty dolls quite well.

Here, we see it with socks that I already had and the hat from the 2006 meet outfit.

The "jeans" are actually knit pants and closer to sweatpants in feel and movement. They pair nicely with t-shirts, but I don't like them with this plaid shirt. The shirt itself is very nice, with a real pocket, but faux buttons covering a long velcro strip up the front. The briefs are one piece, pull on design, with white elastic at the leg cuffs and waist. the "fly" is printed on and not functioning.

I started writing this review and almost put it in the Accessories section. Good thing I looked here first.

Mini Macintosh

Boot your American Girl’s Apple Macintosh computer with the flip of a switch. Use the keyboard to scroll through her field trip report about the planetarium. Scoot the mouse along the mousepad to add stars to the constellation on the screen.

$32 GSAC discontinued 1999

A very nice and highly detailed piece. The keys are labeled and the keyboard can actually be pressed (all the letter keys are actually one large key) and the mouse can be pressed or clicked as well. My version, bought from a member, did not come with a mousepad. In a pinch, a piece of paper or foam board can be used as a mousepad.

The on/off switch is located on the back of the monitor. I did not try to turn on the computer and because the battery compartment (located on the bottom of the CPU/Monitor) had a broken tab, I could not access the battery compartment. Still, even as a display piece, it looks great.

As others have mentioned about the size, I thought it seemed a bit small when I held it in my hands, and I felt it was small, even as a child's computer. I checked it against my 1:6 dolls and their hands fit perfectly on the keyboard for touch typing. I would say that this accessory was closer to 1:5 scale than truly 1:3 scale. it is still a wonderful piece and I'm really glad to have it.

I bought a pair of Kit's workboots; they came in yesterday via UPS, which I didn't even hear becuase they were still outside this morning.

They're ok. They're dark brown thin pleather with rubber soles and NO AGOT logo! This will be good news for those who deslike the logo on historical items.

Honestly, I'm not thrilled with the boots at all. I'm sorry I paid $ plus shipping, for a total of about $13. They're not worth $13 IMVHO, but that's me. They look nice though, but I don't think they'd stand up much to rough play. -Omar
